I'd just heard from multiple people to keep a clean driving record and then this happened...
They are OK with a "normal" driving record, which can include the occasional speeding ticket or accident. This will not affect you unless you do it every 3 months.
They are usually not OK with lots of recent tickets, tickets that involve reckless driving, or DUI/DWI (kiss of death).
As far as the background check, don't worry about it. Just be honest...they will ask for your DMV, misdemeanor, and felony histories for certain time periods. Just tell the truth for those time periods, then it doesn't matter what they find or don't find on the background thing.
